Returning to that would eliminate by far the vast majority of these “firearm-caused killing sprees,” and practically ALL of the homeless problem.

Mon, 17 Dec 2012 15:22:16 +0000http://hotair.com/headlines/?p=233158#comment-2219816In the Kennedy years, the standard for commitment was established as “a danger to himself or others.” The asylumns were emptied and mass murders stopped being historic events and became weekly news stories. Because, of course, there’s no way to really know whether someone is violent until he actually DOES something violent.

The old standard for commitment was “incompetence” which basically meant being unable to care for one’s self, or unable to function in society. Returning to that would eliminate by far the vast majority of these “firearm-caused killing sprees,” and practically ALL of the homeless problem.

Mon, 17 Dec 2012 15:03:05 +0000http://hotair.com/headlines/?p=233158#comment-2219796How about some facts on the mass shootings that Obama, Holder, and Ms Clinton via the use of the ATF, FBI, DEA, BP bosses caused in Mexico. Like the number of childen killed by the Fast and Furious gun running.

How about some facts on the gun running via Lybia, the Bengazie operation of Obama, the CIA, DIA, National Security operations.

Long boney fingers pointing at the freedoms the Constitution demands will never be a solution.

An anti-gun fanatic here in MA actually said on TV that if we were to eliminate all guns from the Earth that people would never have to fear being shot. That there would never be another gun murder again and that this would be a wonderful thing. Yes, she is that dumb.

That is a stupid statement, as it does nothing to advance the conversation. Likewise, the oft-repeated statement that no one is ever murdered by a law-abiding gun owner is equally as stupid.

Anyone who thinks that banning gun ownership is magically going to stop mass killings is just kidding themselves.

Mon, 17 Dec 2012 14:44:50 +0000http://hotair.com/headlines/?p=233158#comment-2219770The current and past leaders of the Democrat Party / The Left, in America operate with the liberal mental disorders we all know about, now that group has been in action long enough to have enabled comming mutiple generations of shooters like this operating freely without controls with ever growing lethal mental disorders.

They now do the same as always, these leaders of the liberal Democrats due to the same old mental disorders misdirect and blame guns. Never ever looking within, always with the blame game.

They may as well blame “birth” cause birth enables a human who may at some time in life own a gun,,,,, which if you look at their record on abortions, they are getting there, just give them some time.

Surprise, as long as we continue to make non-reality based policy decisions we will continue to have bigger problems than we otherwise would. Take a look at Chicago and Detroit.

Reality is far too hard for far too many people.
